Almost Ready...
We're just about ready... and now remembering that the last time we went to Lynne's ISSTDR (Int'l Society of Sexually Transmitted Disease Research) conference we were in Ottawa, Canada, and that involved cyclying all over. Ottawa has a great network of bike paths that wander all around the canals and rivers. I (Robby) spent every day riding 30-60km on that great Giant roadbike I rented. Check out the pictures here. To your left is a photo of Lynne and I on the Ottawa River, with Parliament behind us. I just hope the weather is as good in Germany!
During the second week we'll see some of the same folks at this conference: Peter, Bill, Piku... but sadly no Marlene this time. Claire will probably come visit us in Amsterdam for a weekend. Lynne will be at the conference all day and I'll go wander around in some museums and cafes probably.
We hope you enjoy the blog! Please feel free to comment. We've been posting trips like this for a while; the first time we did was on our 1998 Cross-Country Mooch Tour, using my Dad's old (and VERY old) Mac and a small digital camera. We barely had dialup! Pretty funny read. Nowadays it's pretty easy to do with services like blogger and such... this way I don't have to edit anymore HTML, and it'll (hopefully) give me less time on the computer and more time sampling local cuisine!
As I mentioned below, we'll try to update this as much as possible, but depending on computer availability it might only be every few days.

Robby and Lynne,
Happy flight and, when you get to Rheinland-Pfaltz, don't forget to look the people you toast in the eyes while you are prost-ing. If you don't, you have seven years of bad sex, and so will the poor German that you forgot to make eye contact with.
Happy weather to yaz! arva

Hey...Traveling without two toddlers must be a liberating and joyful experience. I can't wait to see how your trip goes. Be sure to be back in time for the reunion!
